Over the last few weeks we have been updating our website with all the new Japanese brands we have taken on for 2017, and we have had amazing feedback for all of them, especially the Forged magnesium range of TWS wheels, the pinnacle road or track light weight wheel, it really doesn’t get any better, but one wheel in questions that took not only our eye, but an awful lot of interest from customers around the world, the very beautiful AME, Shallen L.O.D FX.

The design has been around since we can remember in various disguises, when it first hit the scene all those years ago, it was as a cast 3-piece wheel design, with a flat profile, but as its progressed through the years and into its second configuration, it changed to a 3-piece concave with the extended legs, and option that is still available and still looking good on any vehicle it enhances.

AME Wheels Japan, Shallen L.O.D FX

Seen here is the latest update and configuration made to the design, a deep concave 2 piece forged wheel, with the spoke running all the way to the rim edge, with a step lip and floating style spoke, and the results as you can see are stunning.

Manufactured in sizes 19” and 20” in various widths, offsets and applications, the wheel can be finished in any colour configuration, with 21” and 22” being added to the line up over the coming weeks.

Email the VAD team for pricing and applications, we can see this wheel being a very popular choice for the 2017 season.

Our Z4 GT3 V8 engine installation is almost complete, with a few little details to finish, the main on ifs the exhaust system, before we then move on to the suspension and the brake set up.

The stock 2.5 (N52B25) engine looks absolutely huge by comparison to the LS3 V8 that is now sitting in the in its place, what also caught our attention was where the engine mounts are located on the stock BMW engine and how much of the engine sits over the point of location, BMW obviously know what they are doing, but where the LS3 engine sits by comparison, the car will have better weight distribution.

Craig has finish all of the rocker covers and all the various engine bits in his trade mark crackle black paint, and we must say it a perfect combination with the how we are going to finish the external look of the car, as we carry that black and white theme over to the outside, with the diffuser and front splitter along with the bonnet vents being kept in black carbon finish.

This week sees the start the exhaust being completed, as Craig plans not only the route of where the exhaust will sit, but also the sound, which is pretty important for a build like this, as it has to sound how it looks, as Craig puts it, it needs to sound fruity, his experience with these builds are paramount, so the final sound will be left in his capable hands, we then get to start the suspension and brake set up.

 

Our wide body aero pack for the Nissan GTR is now available in fibre glass, due to so many requests for a none carbon version of the kit, we decided to pull the trigger and start manufacturing and holding the kit in stock for immediate dispatch, rather than custom manufacture the carbon kit to order.

the basic kit consists of: Front splitter, front bumper, front wider fenders, side skirts, rear wider quarter panels, rear bumper and light panel.

The full fibre glass will be held in stock and we ship worldwide, for more details and pricing for the basic aero pack along with all of optional extras, email the sales team
